Chapter 10: PositiveCuteSunshineSexyMenheraDecadentBustyBeautifulGirl

──────

The work continued without a break.

It was all finished in less than an hour, but the aftereffects of that intense concentration spread through my entire body.

"......Ugh, every joint."

There wasn't a single part of my body that didn't ache.

The obsessive thought that not a single mistake could be allowed had pushed every muscle in my body past its limit.

Fortunately, all the spiritual medicine had come out perfectly.

Of course, all I had done was support the process so the medicinal potency would not change.

The method may have been crude, but the results were not.

Fifty-two bottles of spiritual medicine diluted to one-thousandth strength, and six bottles diluted to one-two-hundredth strength.

Naturally, I no longer had to worry about the 80 million hwan price of the cyberware.

"This is ridiculous."

It was only my third day since I gained access to the Transcendent Gallery.

Thinking of how I had been miserable over not having even a few ten-thousand hwan before this, it was a world of difference.

Pop!

I pulled the stopper from one of the bottles I had sealed immediately after preparing it.

Naturally, it was one diluted to one-two-hundredth strength.

It could not compare to the overwhelming scent from when I cut the fruit earlier, but an enticing fragrance still spread through the room.

Gulp.

Without hesitation, I downed the spiritual medicine.

Its medicinal potency spread through my body the instant it went down my throat.

Normally, that savage energy would have run wild inside me, but the base I had created by combining several formulas stabilized it.

"Haa..."

The energy that seeped into my blood vessels and dantian merged with my own energy, then began to assert itself.

It stole the places occupied by the somewhat turbid energy my body had held before.

The displaced energy clamored as it searched for a way out.

Naturally, every place where it could remain inside my body was occupied by the spiritual medicine's energy. The only exits were the openings in my body.

"Bleeaaargh!"

As nausea surged up, I grabbed the bucket I had prepared and vomited into it.

Most of it was stomach fluid and such, but the turbid qi within me was expelled as well.

Once I felt the effect, even my last bit of hesitation vanished.

I vomited everything in my stomach, then dry-heaved even after there was nothing left.

"Ugh... haa..."

I retched for so long that I wondered if I had thrown up my organs too.

My stomach still felt ready to turn inside out, and the turbid qi that had yet to escape stabbed painfully throughout my body.

But the results were certain.

"3-Star..."

I had easily crossed an entire stage.

I was nearly at the peak of the 3-Star rank.

I had not merely crossed one wall. I had reached the point where I could see the next stage ahead.

"......"

Five bottles of spiritual medicine remained before me.

Naturally, they should still work well enough.

I did not know which bottle would make me develop resistance, but I could simply stop once that happened.

"Next time, I should consider a less painful method..."

Of course, advancing through ordinary cultivation would be hundreds, perhaps thousands of times more painful and arduous.

Still, the hand reaching for the spiritual medicine trembled on its own.

Nausea was not the only issue. Pain that truly felt as if my limbs were being torn off assaulted me.

But what could I do?

If I was going to take a beating anyway, it was better to take it sooner rather than later.

I squeezed my eyes shut and drank the spiritual medicine one bottle after another.

Then...

"Urgh... uugh..."

After the fifth bottle, when I had developed near-complete resistance, I could only collapse on the floor and convulse.

"Gasp... gasp..."

How much time had passed?

The swelling that had turned my whole body red gradually subsided, and my breathing slowly evened out.

But the state of my insides was still a complete mess. There was not a single part that felt intact.

I probably would not be able to move for a week.

It seemed impossible to do anything in this condition.

The Gallery bastards would consider that good news.

"Still, I succeeded..."

Regardless of the state of my body, which had practically become useless, my achievement was undeniable.

"Four Stars... no, four and a half."

The number of magical reservoirs within my body.

The spaces mages called Stars now numbered four and a half.

If someone learned of my current achievement, they might faint.

They might give up cultivation immediately and retire into seclusion.

That was how absurd this growth was.

Of course, I would have to live as half-crippled for several days in return.

Compared to this achievement, that was barely a penalty.

"Whatever."

I barely managed to move my body onto the rough mattress.

I had only just gotten myself onto it, and it took several more minutes to find a proper position.

I would probably be bedridden like this for a while.

...So I might as well browse the Gallery in the meantime.

Before, it would have been nothing more than lowbrow amusement. Now, it was something I had to do for my future.

Even I thought that was ridiculous.

Bzzzz.

A hologram rose from my wrist along with a notification sound.

Naturally, the notification came from the Transcendent Gallery.

"......Should I turn this off again?"

+9999

That was the number displayed on my profile in the upper-right corner.

It seemed every kind of bastard had sent me a DM.

After looking through them, I found some whose actual identities could not be guessed from their usernames and a few posts alone.

It did not seem like something a mere fourth-Star mage should say, but the Gallery was full of minor figures who had stayed relatively outside the main story.

At most, they would be Intermediate Divinities or beings at the Celestial Immortal or Heavenly Martial Realm.

Their standing in this Gallery was a little lower.

[ Would you like to block TogetherWithUs? ]

[ Would you like to block RunDemonKing? ]

[ Would you like to block DummyWummy? ]

As I blocked several of their DMs, I could not help noticing something strange.

[ Our Miss Oz... might you be interested in the Ninth Dimension...? Hehe. ]

[ Oz, our garden has plenty of spirit herbs that are good for skincare... ]

[ Avatar body, human form. Height 182 / 75 / 18, slim muscular build. Please contact me. ]

[ Mine's huge. Hit me up. ]

"What the fuck is this?"

More than half the DM previews contained that kind of thing.

I could not understand why this bizarre hellscape had formed.

I immediately closed the DM window and entered the free board.

Then I found the culprit.

[ No Existence, is it really true Oz is an S-rank beautiful girl in their dimension? ]

[ Upvote if you got over your anger after learning Oz has a female form lol ]

[ Asking for Jade Dew Fruit to make a face pack proves it beyond doubt lol ]

[ Oz definitely doesn't have a partner, right? Starting today, I'm the husband, yep ]

"Is this guy insane?"

No Existence.

That crazy Void Serpent bastard seemed to have spread a wild rumor with impressive enthusiasm.

* * *

The Transcendent Gallery was peaceful again today.

...In fact, peaceful days were far more common.

The Gallery's traffic was not normally that high.

Unless some enormous incident occurred, it was mostly used for occasional chatter or to locate people who could not be reached.

Compared to then, recent traffic was roughly eleven to twelve times higher.

That was not a difference that could be described as "only."

There was an enormous gap between those two periods.

Naturally, that difference existed entirely because of Oz.

After Oz personally appeared in the Gallery, traffic increased sharply once more.

[ This bastard disappeared again. ]

[ Oz said they were going to post the Fifth Dimension rankings!!!!!! ]

[ Ha, no choice. WanderMerch, get out there again, yep. ]

[ WanderMerch got seriously pissed earlier and left the Gallery lol ]

Naturally, public sentiment flared again after Oz left the Gallery for a short time.

The truth was, the board barely moved at all unless the topic involved Oz or the tier list.

As posts piled up searching for Oz and making unfounded guesses about the announced "Fifth-Dimension Transcendent Fight Rankings for Those Prepared for Eternal Annihilation"...

[ As of today, I withdraw all support. Oz and I are one. ] - No Existence

No Existence made a sudden post.

They were expected to appear on that battle ranking, and they were also expected to react the most intensely.

[ What's with this guy?????? ]

[ Did No Existence meet Oz? Why are they suddenly stanning Oz? ]

Naturally, no one could take it at face value.

Had they not been the leader of the most extreme anti-Oz faction until just recently?

The Gallery's Transcendents began pressuring No Existence as one.

[ No, I just said it for no reason ] - No Existence

Of course, No Existence resisted fiercely throughout the process.

Rumble!

"Tell the truth, you bastard!!!!!!"

"Goddamn it, why did you actually come find me over this? Are you insane? Gweeegh! Let me go! Blegh!"

"Speak properly!!!!!!"

Under that relentless attack, online and offline alike, No Existence could not last even half a day before confessing everything.

[ Oz is... a woman? ]

[ What? Oz has a female form? ]

[ Oz is a PositiveCuteSunshineBeautifulGirl? ]

[ Oz is a mentally ill, menhera, decadent sexy girl? ]

[ Ah lol, just wait for the DMs. ]

The Gallery falling apart immediately afterward was only natural.

After the original fact had passed through several layers of embellishment, Oz had become a PositiveCuteSunshineSexyMenheraDecadentBustyBeautifulGirl with a ranked entry in the Record of Beauty in All Things.

[ How far are these lunatics going? ]

...That had become the indisputable truth that no one in the Gallery argued against.

Only one person objected.

[ Where'd this Void Serpent bastard go? ] - Oz

I gave you the rankings because you asked, then you exposed our DMs?

Are you actually insane? Want to become snake liquor?

-SweetGuy) Oz, please read your DMs ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-HighGod) Oz, do you happen to like younger men? I'm probably younger than you, hehe

-EatManaWhenBored) That downvote gives you away lololololololololol

-MoonlitNightWalk) Upvote if you think No Existence will die before the ranking list goes up and get removed from it lololololol

ㄴSun Gatherer) The upvotes are pouring in lol, straight to tap dancing lol

-WriggleWriggle) Wriggle wriggle

It was Oz personally appearing, filled with fury by any measure.

And No Existence vanished without a trace alongside that appearance.

In that thrilling situation, the Gallery was more active than ever.

[ Would you believe me if I said I don't have a female form? ] - Oz

Would you people even believe it?

I don't think you would.

-MoonlitNightWalk) You think we'd believe you? Lolololol

-PassingImmortal) Just admit it already.

-DivineMaiden) I don't see what anyone likes about such a frivolous woman.

-Beyond the Boundary) Big sis, let's be friends lol

Naturally, the objection was not accepted.

Their firmly established belief had become too solid for even the person's denial to shake.

[ Believe whatever you want... ] - Oz

After the person in question finally declared surrender, the Transcendent Gallery took on the mood of a victory celebration after defeating some great evil.

Not that it was entirely untrue. To those listed on the tier lists and rankings, Oz was an object of both great love and hate.

[ I'll just make and post a tier list ] - Oz

[ Whoa lol, an Oz tier list is finally going up. ]

[ How to summon Oz: reveal their gender lol ]

[ Honestly, upvote if you're more curious about Oz's husband-material tier list than any other tier list now lol ]

As Oz carried out their main job(?), No Existence ascended as the Gallery's second hero.

Their accomplishment was summoning Oz and fleshing out Oz's personal details.

However, a few hours later, a tier list was posted.

Right after it went up...
